Help With Touch Up Paint!

[AdamAV]

Someone decided to key my car when I was at work today but it wasn't to bad, where can I get some good touch up paint for it? Or do i have to go to a dealer for the exact color? It's a black 05 GT.

Some good auto parts stores have factory touch up paint, all you need is the proper paint code.

I feel your pain! This happened to my car while I was in high school. I still have bad memories about it. Good thing I found matching touch-up paint at the dealer. You can research our factory touch-up paint on the Ford Parts site: http://www.FordParts.com/Default.aspx. Remember to enter your model, year, and search by keyword.

Appreciate the response! I hope the scratch in AdamAV's ride isn't too deep.

Save this site in your favorites, guys!

Take care,

Do it right. Put the paint on, clear it the next day, smooth it out the next day with about 2000 grit sandpaper and a little water, then rub
it out with rubbing compound or scratch remover. I've had a few small rock chips on my car, and you couldn't find them if you tried. Most people just blob some paint on and leave it.

You could end up making it look much worse. Be careful.
